Forge Siding brings genuine wood siding expertise to Fort Worth, TX: moisture content verification at delivery, species-appropriate fastener specifications, end-grain sealing at every butt joint, and finish systems that account for the difference between a painted face and a raw wood back.
Our Fort Worth, TX specialists bring the credentials, diagnostic tools, and installation expertise that make the difference between a repair that holds and one that repeats.
Cedar behaves differently from redwood, and engineered wood strand composite behaves differently from both. We match installation technique to species — not one approach applied to all.
Every field cut and exposed end grain is primed before the board goes on the wall. This single practice is the largest determinant of paint longevity and rot prevention on wood siding.
We pin-test delivered lumber at multiple boards per bundle. Material reading above acceptable MC is stickered for airflow and acclimated on-site before installation begins.
State-licensed contractor in TX with GL and workers' comp. License number and certificates available at first contact.
Every service below is executed by our own licensed Fort Worth, TX crew — not passed to a subcontractor network. Certified installers, manufacturer-grade tools, and written scope on every project.
4" to 12" custom widths, back-primed before installation, nailed with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank fasteners at the correct position relative to the top edge of the course below. 1/8" expansion space at all butt joints regardless of ambient temperature.
Hand-split or sawn shingles require a specific nailing pattern, exposure depth calibrated to shingle length, and self-adhering water-resistive membrane at every course break for high-moisture Fort Worth, TX exposures.
Wood strand composite panels offer better dimensional stability and moisture resistance than natural wood. Field cuts require manufacturer-specified caulk or primer at every edge — treated with the same care as natural wood end grain.
Vertical profiles require correctly located blocking behind every vertical seam for solid fastening, Z-flashing at all horizontal transitions, and correct clearance to grade at the foundation.
Structurally sound wood siding with failing finish can often be saved through proper washing, sanding, end-grain sealing, and a quality exterior finish system — at a fraction of replacement cost. We assess candidacy honestly.
We work with custom millwork suppliers to match discontinued or historic clapboard profiles for restoration projects in Fort Worth, TX's historic districts. Preservation office approval requirements navigated on your behalf.
A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better outcomes. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Fort Worth, TX Wood Siding team.
We discuss aesthetic goals, review moisture exposure on each elevation, and recommend species and finish system for your specific Fort Worth, TX microclimate, sun exposure, and HOA or preservation requirements.
Delivered lumber is pin-tested. Material above acceptable MC is stickered for airflow on-site. Installation begins only when moisture content is within the appropriate range for Fort Worth, TX's conditions.
All back faces and field cuts primed before panels go to the wall. Correct nailing position, expansion spacing, and stagger pattern appropriate to the species and profile.
Two finish coats applied after installation. End-grain joints sealed with high-movement paintable elastomeric caulk. Final walkthrough by elevation at project completion.
Every piece was back-primed before it went on the wall — the installer showed me what he was doing and why. Four years later the paint is perfect. That priming discipline is what determines the outcome at year 10.
Cedar board-and-batten on a new custom build. Blocking behind every vertical batten seam before a single board went up. The finished result is everything we envisioned, built to perform for decades.
Our previous wood siding had complete paint failure because the original installer hadn't back-primed. Forge Siding diagnosed the root cause, stripped the failing finish, back-primed all panels in place, and recoated. Three years — zero paint failures.
Our Fort Worth-based team covers every community in our Fort Worth, TX service area — same licensed crews, same upfront pricing, same written warranty on every project.
